4) Phanerozoic- It is again divided into three parts. They are-

        (a) Paleozoic

        (b) Mesozoic

        (c) Cenozoic

These geological time scales play an important role in understanding the existence of different phases on earth and also it helps in identifying which age a rock belongs. It is very frequently used by geologists to determine the past activities.

Thus, the correct answer is Option (B).

What do high and low air pressure systems mean in terms of density?
Arada [10]

<span>There are two physical differences between Low pressure systems and </span>High pressure systems.

First, is the circulation surrounding them.

Secondly, is the atmospheric motion that they cause.

Low pressure systems circulate counter-clockwise. High pressure systems circulate clockwise. These "motions" are the building blocks in our atmosphere. They give us our weather.

A Low’s counter-clockwise circulation forces air upward (ultimately resulting in condensation, cloud formation and ultimately precipitation). A High’s clockwise circulation causes a sinking motion in the atmosphere, resulting in fair/clearer and often sunnier skies.
